Like just don't use it anymore.
I started using their website first and then dug into their app later. I really like the app, I like the service as an idea. I used to use the app a lot more but I have developed different interest and find that I am just out of the habit of logging in and using it.

If you are a book-lover, this is a great app and you will completely love it.

But there was not a lot of perspectives in the book. (0 more)
Contains spoilers, click to show
In the book, Clay's voice doesn't feel as animated as it did in the show. In addition, the book has a slower pace but the concepts were good. It doesn't deal with what happened to Jessica as much as it did in the book because it's exclusively from Clay's perspective so that means we don't see Jess telling her dad what happened.

Wow, wow, wow! A friend of mine recommended this book to me, and I'm so glad I read it. It started out a bit slow for the first couple of chaters but then I found that I couldn't put it down!!

The book kept me guessing as there were a lot of plot twists. I also loved all the characters =)

And it's a zombie book, so what else could you want!?!

Definitely give this one a read!!

Platinum and Plantations are excellent additions (2 more)
Action cards are simple
Slightly extends the length of the game.
The Best Dominion Expansion
Prosperity is by far the best of the Dominion expansions, and once you have it, you will not play without it again. The addition of platinum and plantations extends the game just enough to make investing in actions worth it.

A lot of the new expansions focus on adding too much complexity. Prosperity keeps things simple.

Seemed like a good premise
I really wanted to like this book. It sounded like it would be good, the story sounds very interesting. However, I just couldn't look past how annoyingly it was written. I read a lot of YA novels because I am a middle school teacher, but this was definitely one of the worst. I couldn't get more than halfway through.

This was a very helpful textbook that I used for a coaching class to get a certification in coaching from the American Sport Education Program. A lot of the information was common sense, but there was some information that I found to be interesting. I enjoyed being able to discuss this with the class. I strongly recommend this if you are clueless about coaching a sport, otherwise I'm not sure how much you would really benefit from it.

Great story about two brothers who compete in a ufc style fight circuit. Each brother has their own reasons for doing so and end up facing off against each other. It's a very moving story that unfolds well and leaves you cheering for the two. There's a lot of emotion in this one. This was the first movie I ever watched with Tom Hardy in it. Made me a fan. This action drama is really worth a watch!

A bit of setting up (especially with some of the the expansions) (0 more)
This is one of my all time favourite games and something we play a lot of as a family. I love introducing this game to new people and have yet to find a friend who hasn’t enjoyed it. There are so many expansion packs available so once you’ve mastered the basics, there are so many variations to try.

Currently explorers and pirates, but so far I’ve only had chance to play that and traders and barbarians

I play this game on the ipad much more than I do in real life. But even then it's every once in a while.

Backstage Pass (Sinners on Tour, #1)

Book Rating
I don't quite know what to think about this book. Sinners reminded me an awful lot of Avenged Sevenfold at times throughout but in terms of plot there wasn't really much if one.

It was predominantly sex - in many different forms - with a bit of difference thrown in every now and again. The whole book was basically sex, even Myrna was a professor of human sexuality.

I'd have given it more stars if it was more of a story.
